Club Career |
|
Club(s) |
Baker holds the record for the most league goals in a season for Hibernian
having found the net 42 times in the 1959-60 season. He claimed a
remarkable 159 goals in four seasons at Easter Road � all by the age of
21.
Born in Liverpool to Scottish parents, Baker became the first player from
a club outside England to be capped for his country, a record that he
claimed while at Torino, where he played with Denis Law and won the Golden
Boot, despite playing for only one season. He left after needing
life-saving surgery when he crashed his Alfa Romeo Geulietta Sprint.
He returned to the UK, joining Arsenal before moving to Nottingham Forest,
where he was known as �Zigger-Zagger�, and collected 41 goals in 116
league games for a side that finished runners-up to Manchester United in
the league in 1967.
He then moved to Sunderland before returning to Easter
Road, where he scored nine goals in one cup tie for Hibs. |

Due to the fact that
many matches rarely stuck to exactly ninety minutes long, allowing time
for injuries, errors and substitutions. The minutes here
given can only ever be a guideline and cannot therefore be accurate, only
an approximation. |
